Best CD of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano C

I guess while you're at the store, pick up the original Rach recording of Rach playing numbers 1 and 4, also Ormandy / Philadelphia. RCA 6659-2-RC. (Or through Musical Heritage Society.) http://www.musicalheritage.com/

Just saw that the Agerich/Chailly Rach PC 3 on Phillips is
now available in their new remastered "50 greatest" series
at mid price, however the coupling is not as good as full price original. But if you only want Rach PC 3 this is great buy. I am also looking to replace my old Kovacevich/Davis Greig PC 1 with remastered "50 greatest"
version but none of my sources have it yet.

I did recently replace my Davis/CBO Berlioz Sym. Fantasique,
with new Phillips "50 greatest" version and was impressed by remastered sound. Fortunately these are mid price, but I am afraid this is not the last CD I will upgrade!

Sam-is that the 2 cd set with Harold and Symphonie Triomphale? Really great Viola on the former and that swinging Trombone on the latter.

Kitch, no the remastered Davis/CBO Berlioz Sym Fantastique is a single disc, part of new "50 greatest" series just released at mid price. Contains only Sym Fantastique like original release, no additional music.

The disc you refer to is an older Phillips "duo" release.
The "50 greatest" series was just released and uses SOTA 24/96 remastering which at least in this case delivers as advertised.

I saw several places on the internet where you can order the
complete Rach PC 1-4 Ashkenazy/Previn/Decca for under $14
as a budget priced "Decca Double" release. Life is good.

I can also recommend V. Horowitz/CSO/F Reiner for Rach 3 (RCA, 1951 recording). There is a later recording of Rach 3 with Horowitz/NYPO/Ormandy (RCA, 1978). I prefer the older version.
I have both on vinyl, so cannot give the CD refs -- sorry.
